Improvement in hair medicine



tinned fitme ANDREW J, FLETOHERtOF RED BLUFF, CALIFORNIA.

Letters Patent No. 101,722, dated April 12, 1870.

- IMPROVEMENT IN HAIR MEDICINE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

' ammonia, 2 ounces; spirits of rosemary, 8 ounces; distilled water,.4ounces; extract of manzanita, 1 ounce; or, if this cannot be obtainedreadily, I substitute some quassia chips, about half an ounce, to bewell soaked in distilled water, and the extract to be put in with thecompound.

I mix the above ingredients well together, and zip-- ply them to theheadiu the usual form of a lotion.

- Aiter it is well rubbed on, the head should be brushed with a softhair-brush.

This compound will prove an infallible remedy where the hair is comingout through sickness or any other cause, and will restore hair where theapplicant is bald; it also cures tetter and other diseases of the scalp.

I am aware that some of these ingredients have been before usedfor thepurposes named, but from experiments made, and from a long residence onthe Pacific coast and in Mexico, I have found that these ingredients,when combined with the manzanita extract-a shrub indigenous to Mexicoand the Pacific coast has a most wonderful and curative eii'ect. When,however, this cannot be obtained, I use a few chips or gratings of thequassia tree, which I find, in combination with the other ingredients,produces the same beneficial results.

Having thus fully described the nature of my improved medicalcompound,and the method of applyiug the same,

What I claim as new, and as my invention, and de sire to seizure byLetters Patent, is.

The medical compound as described, for the uses and purposes set forth.
